Simplexml get attributes with a namespace
(1 answer)
Closed 8 years ago.
I try to use the Immobilienscout24-API to get Offerings of my Customer to his homepage.
I get an XML-Result with the form like here.
After parsing this result with
$obj = new SimpleXMLElement($myXmlString);
the attribute xsi:type of the element realEstateElement is lost. How can I access that element?
Thanks!
